Nevermind, I'm running an NG1100 and it's not powerful enough for this. If
I'd known that ahead of time, I would have purchased something beefier..

You're running out of RAM. ClamAV sucks up a LOT of RAM.

A Google search for 'clamav "ERROR: Database update process failed: Test failed"' should help you also.

Yeah, I googled that and didn't have any help. No one suggested it was a RAM issue. My NG1100 only has 1GB, so that was the problem.
